Ranch Hitch Adapter
I have been using this hitch adapter for three years now on a 40 ft, 4 slide trailer and it has performed great. The slight cone shape means I don't have to get perfectly lined up to hitchup, and unlike other available units I don't have to climb into the truck bed to secure the coupling. Easily installed and adjustable.

Easy to Use Adapter
I've been using this adapter for 5 years on my 30-foot 2002 Thor Toyhauler, 12,000lb trailer. The adapter was a super easy install and has proven to be a strong reliable unit, on-road and off-road. I made sure my pin box was properly supported and reinforced before install. I wanted the bedspace in my long wheelbase f350 clear and this was the way to go within my budget. Lining it up is a cinch. There are a ton of Pro's regarding ease of use and convenience. The only major con I've encountered is that by moving the connecting point of the trailer pinbox, effectively to the end of a lever, there is a complex torsion applied to the pinbox and trailer frame that is amplified on rough road and hard shifts. I keep an eye on the welds and have not seen any signs of weakness, but the most noticeable result of the torsion is a "bucking" or "dolphining" motion on hard bumps. This may be reduced with a short wheel base truck or air bagged pin box. I'd like to try that.

Bait-n-switch
What you see is NOT what you receive. This picture is very misleading. It is actually two pieces that are purchased separately. Very disappointing.

Will this product work on any pin box even roto flex or one with an air bag built in.
Per the manufacturer:
The Ranch Hitch Adapter is NOT recommended for cushioned or movable pin boxes, only on static pin box applications. If you have a cushioned pin box you may want to use our Ultimate 5th Wheel Connection fifth wheel hitch instead.

Will it fit a 2009 KZ Inferno 43’
As this product is universal in nature, a verified fit list is not offered by Andersen Hitches.
This adapter fits standard 2-5/16" gooseneck ball hitch and can be used on trailers at or under 24,000 lb. GVWR / 6,000 lb. tongue weight.
Per manufacturer instructions, to see if the adapter will fit your 5th wheel, do the following:
-Back your truck into position as if you were hooking up your 5th wheel.
-Measure from the "pin plate" (the bottom of the pin box) down to the top of the ball in the bed of your truck.
The Ranch Hitch Adapter features 3" of adjustment, so if that measurement is between 11-3/4" and 14-3/4", the adapter should work. However, you should also have 5" or 6" of clearance between the overhang of the trailer and the sideboards of your truck, keeping in mind that your 5th wheel should be level for traveling. If you have any questions, please contact us(https://andersenhitches.com/Catalog/contact-us.aspx).
